It can easily be argued that the Chicago Bulls are out of the playoffs, having lost their series with the Washington Wizards 4-1, because of Tom Thibodeau’s stubbornness, and his seeming refusal to make any significant adjustments. I am not here to argue that point, though the Bulls got whooped with their starters on the […]

Maybe we shouldn’t get excited about a win over a team missing four of its best six players, as the San Antonio Spurs were last night, especially with the Chicago Bulls operating at what passes for full strength with Derrick Rose out of action. But then again, the Spurs are notorious — not unlike the […]

Just two days after a marathon triple-overtime, it would’ve been fair to expect the Chicago Bulls to come out flat in what would be a 96-93 loss to the Washington Wizards. Instead, led by Jimmy Butler — he of the franchise record 60:20 played in Orlando — the Bulls posted one of their better offensive […]

Chicago’s late-game execution, so good two nights ago in Orlando, was nowhere to be seen as the Washington Wizards used a 6-0 run in the final four minutes to key a 96-93 home win that sends the Wizards back to .500 (19-19) for the first time in 2014. The Bulls had lead the Wizards […]

Unfortunately, the Bulls came away with no points. How did that happen, you ask? Simple: the Bucks made a nice defensive play to […]

Pitched as a battle of the last two teams to beat the Miami Heat, the Bulls came out a clear second-best to the Detroit Pistons who won their first game at the United Center since 2006, 92-75. Even saying second-best feels too much, it almost implies the Bulls competed. After a disjointed, sloppy and far […]

Playing without Derrick Rose for the first time in six game—an entire six game!—the Bulls capitalized on an ugly shooting night from all but one of the Raptors to claim their first road win of the year and avoid starting 0-4 away from home for the first time in five years. With about five minutes […]

Six games into the season and the Bulls are just 3-3, sitting four games back in their division and playing far below their potential But it’s just six games, and it was obvious coming into the year that it would take time to work Derrick Rose back into the lineup. That work got harder though. […]
